2.  My famous African American is George
Washington Carver. He is known for
inventing lots of things one of the things is
peanut butter.

3.  George was born in Missouri on the Moses
Carver plantation in 1864.
 George Washington Carver died in
Tuskegee, Alabama on January 5th about 78
years of age
 While he was a baby slave traders
kidnapped him and his mother. Only
George was returned to the plantation.

4. Sadness
His parents
were
slaves. His
father died
right
before he
was born.

5. Poorness
He taught
himself to read.
His Family was
so poor that
they couldn’t
afford to buy a
pencil. He made
a holder and
used a pencil
that was 1.4
inches long.

6. Diseases
When George
was a baby he
had a disease
called whooping
cough. He was
left very sick and
he couldn’t do
hard work like
the other slaves
His chores were
cooking and
sewing

7. The 3 R’s
George would
tell people,
"Don't throw
any thing
away every
thing can be
reused he
would often
tell people.

8. Un important
things
Money,
clothes and
cars were not
important to
him. He
thought the
successful
person was
the one who
had learned to
serve others.

9. Peanut
Butter
George
Washington
Carver
invented
Peanut Butter!!!
So that means
Peanut Butter
has been
around for a
long time!!!
